I'm still here... but barely
Yeah, I know it's been awhile since I chimed in here. I feel like I've been through a time warp — or is that a high-speed blender? Sean is making mince meat of my season. Barring a miracle comeback averaging six games in each of the next two weeks, I think I can safely say that the Surfy trophy is secure wherever Sean has it tucked away in his San Jose apartment.
About the only remaining suspense is whether Ben can hang on to his slim lead over the Junior Bro. He got tripped up a bit in Week 15, suffering defeat at the hands of Oakland, San Diego and New England while getting help from Denver. He holds a 2-game edge over Sean going into next week's games. But I can speak from personal experience that no lead is safe against Sean (recalling the year I lost a six-game advantage on the final week of the season).
Ben is inelligible for the Surfy trophy — that's between me and Sean — but if he does somehow manage to pull it out I am sure there will be some sort of prize awaiting him in the end. Even if he doesn't, he should get the award for most improved prognosticator, or perhaps the Nerves of Steel Award for going against the pundits and picking Houston in a couple of their early victories.
In a couple of weeks I'll revisit my preseason predictions to see how they fared. I can tell you right now they did better than my record indicates!
